I chose that title for my review of Dennis because that was what the ultimate decision of choosing my lawyer (or whether or not to hire one at all) came down to. It took me four very long days, concentrating on nothing else, to finally call Dennis back and ask him to represent me. My insurance rates... on multiple vehicles would triple, the fines and court costs I knew about, the unknown costs that may be ahead, the prospect of the OWI on my record - it all left my head spinning. Finally, I just let it all go, and told myself that if I didn't hire the best, I may very well have to live my life wondering, "What If?" Sixteen months later, the only thing I was wondering was if I would ever get to meet the man! Everything was handled by phone, text, or email. He is calm, intelligent, and reassuring, and responds quickly to a call or text. He goes to court for you, and then tells you what happened and what will happen next. In my case, it was going to come down to a jury trial. I met with Dennis two weeks before the scheduled trial and he went over the research he had gathered for the case. He also told me that the DA may budge before the trial, and that he would settle for nothing other than a non-alcohol related offense. If there was no settlement, we were to meet again a couple days before the trial. I left his office with such confidence in him, that I never bothered to ask for a day off of work! And rightfully so - I soon got a phone call from him stating that we had gotten the non-alcohol related charges that he had sought! Hiring Dennis gives you a peace of mind that you would never dream possible in such a serious situation. I will be forever grateful and recommend him wholeheartedly! He is AMAZING!

Dennis took on my two-fold nightmare over two and a half years ago: I was facing a fourth DUI charge along with a possible fifth in a different county. He fought for me for almost three years, never giving up, always moving forward with a sound plan to ensure I got the very fairest deal possible. Wit...h his help I wound up with a minimum jail sentence on the fourth (in the toughest county in the state for heavy handed prison sentences) and a reduced charge on the possible fifth. with the odds stacked incredibly against me. He saved my license and obtained for me an unbelievable outcome compared to the tragedy that might have transpired if I had a different, less experienced and skilled attorney. And, one more thing. Another trait that makes Dennis stand out in his field of hard boiled criminal defense attorneys is his sensitivity and compassion toward his clients. I cannot count the times Dennis tactfully stayed upbeat and downright comforting to me over this terrible stretch of stress I have lived through since I first retained him. No matter how serious and hopeless you case looks, I guarantee you that Dennis is your very best choice when making what might be the most important decision of your life. Call him!

When I was ticketed for OWI just over a year ago, I was convinced the situation I was facing was hopeless. Though I tested at barely over the legal limit, everything I had read online and everyone I was talking to only made me more dour and certain that my license would be suspended in a few short w...eeks and my life would be totally turned upside down. For starters, my employment/career depends on maintaining a safe/clean driving record, and even though I was a first time offender, that would not exclude me from an immediate suspension of driving privileges--and the drunk driving conviction would remain part of my permanent record for life. I talked to many attorneys in following days with mixed results. Some flat out stated that a long and costly fight would not get me the results I wanted and needed, especially with a test over the .08 limit that the authorities had. I finally spoke to Dennis who was clear and confident, especially upon learning some vital facts of my case, and he had an astounding record of success to back him up. He didn't sugarcoat my case, but did make it clear to me that we had much at our disposal in what would probably be a long, drawn out fight. Over the next calender year it took for my case to finally come to trial, I was amazed at the resources and knowledge Dennis and his staff brought to an OWI/DWI defense. It is solely what his firm practices and that commitment shows in their skill and knowledge of how to fight and defend these cases. After a long year of conferences, pre-trial conferences and ultimate trial with a recalcitrant DA and municipal judge, Dennis was able to get my initial OWI charge reduced to a non-alcohol related violation and save, not just my present job but my driving record and all the upheaval that a DUI conviction would have brought upon my life. If you are facing an OWI/DUI citation, I cannot recommend him enough.

Dear Potential Clients of Attorney Dennis Melowski, Dennis Melowski will forever be my hero, and one who gave me back my dignity to continue living my life in a positive light. Thank you Dennis, with all my heart and soul. One July evening my life changed? I was pulled over due to a headli...ght being burned out and arrested for a DUI. I know many of you will not understand my next statement: This DUI experience was worse than being told I was probably not going to make it through surgery. You may ask why? Please let me explain. My defense involved the special circumstances of my physical and medical conditions. Dennis had to do a lot of research to connect these issues, and find the technical expert to help in my defense. The criminal justice is supposed to treat you as innocent until proven guilty. But, today it seems like the opposite-you are guilty, and must prove your innocence. This letter comes with the highest recommendation I could offer to any human being in my life-Attorney Dennis Melowski. It’s difficult to describe how horrific this process has been over the two years it took to get to trial. Why did this case take so long? In my opinion, because of the arrogance, unpreparedness, and incompetence of the DA’s office and the judge involved. The presiding judge denied every reasonable request, or objection, that Dennis made. We didn't stand a chance. It seemed hopeless from the beginning. What made the 2-year process bearable were my attorney Dennis Melowski and his colleague Attorney Sarvan Singh, Jr. They believed in me, and fought hard with integrity at every step of this criminal process. It’s taken me nearly 1 1/2 years to write this letter because I could not bear the emotional scars or having to relive this nightmare. The only serenity and sanity I experienced in this process was that Dennis believed me in and was willing to take on the criminal justice system, despite the odds. After two years of delay after delay, we finally got the jury trial we deserved. What I lived through in my jury trial process was something I have only seen in the movies. Never in my life did I ever believe for a moment I would be in the midst of this hell. When everyone in that courtroom is against you, and your whole life flashes in front of you, and the only person in the entire courtroom you can depend on is your attorney, it’s a very lonely feeling! My morals, values, core beliefs, integrity, were all in question. Everything I ever believed in was in question. I am a Christian, and I have never questioned God’s will, but this was a time in my life I did! I prayed throughout the entire two years of this legal battle and never, ever, for a moment did Dennis give up on me. Dennis, thank you for giving me my hope and belief back in humanity. As I reflect back on the last day of our jury trial, tears are flowing from my eyes at this moment. I will never forget you Dennis, and I will never forget your passion as you looked in the eyes of that jury and looked at me. You believed in me and forever I will respect you for that belief and passion. My jury trial lasted for five long days. The jury was in deliberations for nearly fours hours-the longest four hours of my life. I imagine after all this you want to know what the verdict was. I was found not guilty! This was because of the excellent representation given to me by Dennis Melowski and his staff. Sincerely, Linda
